100 million --- The Closer League -- is designed to pay homage to the elite reliever. We will be using player seasons from 1950 to the present only !!!! You will draft/pick a Closer (Must use a year in which your closer had 20 or more saves in that particular season you use). 20 players on your roster must be teammates of your Closer ( must use a year they were a teammate (No Twisting), (EX: Closer : 1990 Dennis Eckersley ). The last 4 spots can be whoever you want. All Closers are exclusive. Other Rules are NO WW, DH, Trades, or Clones. Injuries are off. Must use home stadium of the year of your Closer (EX: 1990 Dennis Eckersley (Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum (A's Stadium). Let's See who has the best strategy !!!!

Another example here is (Closer) Lindy McDaniel (1960) -- teammates could look like this for example (1B) -- 1956 Stan Musial , (3B) 1956 Ken Boyer (teammates on 1956 Cardinals) --- (P) -- 1966 Juan Marichal, (P) -- 1966 Gaylord Perry , (P) 1966 Bobby Bolin, (CF) 1966 Willie Mays ( all were teammates on the 1966 Giants with Lindy McDaniel). As well the last 4 spots on your roster can be whoever you want as long as they are not someone's exclusive closer. Here is a complete list of teams Lindy McDaniel played for and years listed below in the link.

I'd like to get in with Rollie Fingers, 1981, Milwaukee Brewers. Specsman jumped in with my previous choice of Goose (in the other offerings for this league) but I guess "you snooze, you lose." Jokers: 1995 Greg Maddux and 2000 Pedro Martinez. Stadium TBD.
